Chapter 292 Solid Evidence

“We’re still trending, not just because we got in first, but because the World Championship is massive right now. That plagiarism drama is wild!”

“What did you say?!”

Kyla’s eyes widened in fury.

Jealousy made the veins on her forehead bulge.

Her phone began to crackle in her grip, clearly straining under her anger.

Tilda… that little brat, how dare she?

Jude, Alfie, Maurice… even the Jensens! They’re all backing Tilda!

Damn it!

This shameless girl, who only knows how to sell her body, play the victim, and deceive others, deserves no mercy!

Tilda is stealing everything that rightfully belongs to me! She’s a despicable thief, a plagiarizing rat!

I swear I’ll drag Tilda straight to hell this time!

“I’ll give you an extra 20 million. Do whatever it takes to keep this scandal alive!"

“Many people have seen the proof of Tilda’s plagiarism. As long as she can’t defend herself, and the World Championship Committee notices it…”

“She’s finished! She’ll be embarrassed in front of everyone–totally shamed!”

“Got it!”

Meanwhile, the World Championship Committee had received a stack of evidence regarding Tilda’s plagiarism.

They informed Tilda, who was resting in the backstage lounge, as well as the five judges.

Three of them were utterly shocked.

They had thought this emerging genius was a true talent, only to discover she was a copycat?

What a stark contrast!

She had been the guaranteed champion!

Not only is she now losing the championship–she’s pulling herself and her whole country down with her!

The judges could only shake their heads.

Given Tilda’s artistic skills, her creative imagination, and the vibrant energy in her work…

This couldn’t possibly be plagiarism.

It was clearly her unique style.

What a shame!

The evidence is just too strong!

There’s no way Tilda can defend herself!

Unless X showed up to declare Tilda innocent.

But…

Was that even a possibility?

Let’s not forget X had been missing for so many years.

Even if she did come back, she’d likely just take the chance to put Tilda down!

No one would just sit back and let someone copy their work!

“See! I knew her work seemed familiar… turns out she copied X!”

“X is practically a legend on the Motrar anime forum. How could Tilda think she could get away with copying X? She’s in big trouble!"

“Did she really think that after disappearing for years, X wouldn’t have any fans? Now that fans have recognized her, and with all this evidence, she’s finished! She’ll be ridiculed everywhere she goes."

“Myst, how could you defend her? Turns out she even copied you! Talk about good intentions gone bad.”

Erica was overjoyed.

She couldn’t stop mocking, her voice dripping with triumph.

She was determined to return the humiliation she had suffered from Tilda earlier!

Once the judging was over and they returned to the competition venue, Erica would make sure to humiliate her in front of the global audience!

Let everyone who still didn’t know Tilda’s true nature see!

Just how low this contestant from Cetherland really was.

Just a copycat!

“She didn’t copy me,” Myst spoke coldly.

His brown eyes glinted with icy disdain as they turned toward Erica.

In that moment, Erica felt an icy shiver crawl down her back.

She pouted slightly.

“Myst, what’s going on? What’s your connection to this Cetherland contestant? She’s causing all this trouble, and you still want to defend her? I don’t get it!

“With such solid evidence, everyone knows Tilda plagiarized. Myst, I know you’ve got an eye for talent, but she’s not worth it!"

Myst turned her head, gaze drifting far away, “I don’t owe you an explanation. You’re nobody to me.”

Gasp!

Everyone sucked in a sharp breath.

Myst really didn’t care one bit.

No wonder he was the genius who broke all the rules.

He clearly had no intention of giving his senior, Erica, any respect!

Erica’s heart felt like it was being ripped apart.

The pain was suffocating.

At the same time, her jealousy and hatred for Tilda deepened!

Myst, you really care about Tilda, huh?

Fine!

I’ll make sure she becomes the laughingstock of the entire world.

She’ll never be able to hold her head high again!

Just then…

“Judges, we have news from Tilda."

“She wants to go on the global livestream to clarify the plagiarism scandal!”

What?!

This turn of events really caught everyone off guard.

Only Myst remained calm.

He was the first to step out of the judges‘ room, as if he had seen it all coming.

Erica’s eyes trembled wildly.
